Put them Together.....Oh Yeah!

Thanks to my wonderful sister, Katie, I am an avid fan of the tv show Friends.  There is an episode where Monica started making TONS of jam; she was between jobs, I think, and was trying to find a way of making money.  Joey loved Monica's jam and ate a LOT of it.  Towards the end of the episode, Monica brings a jar of jam to Joey who is eating in the coffee shop, Central Perk, and she tells Joey to enjoy it because it's the last--she was spending more money to make the jam than she was making.  One of the friends asks Joey which he'd prefer:  a beautiful woman or the jam.  Joey takes his hands and puts them together and says, "Put them together!"

I know Joey's comment is over-the-top and about girls, but that's how I feel about movies and their subtitles.  I absolutely LOVE watching movies.  As you know (since that's what my blog is all about), I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to read!!!  (Not to mention the fact that reading is essentially what I do for a living!)  So, lately, when Samuel and I watch movies on DVD, we turn on the subtitles!!!  So now, I can combine my love of watching movies with my love of reading!!!  OH Yeah!!!!! 

If only I could do the same thing with regular tv shows!!!  I have been getting the Big Bang Theory season discs on Netflix; when I watch them, I turn on the subtitles for them, too!!!

Now, if only directors, writers, producers, etc., etc., etc. would get it right when making films from the books, I'd have the BEST OF ALL WORLDS!!!!  (Granted, they got it right with Gone with the Wind and a few other of my favorite books, and they did pretty ok with most of the Harry Potter stories and the last 2 Twilight movies (New Moon & Eclipse).  Oh, and even though I LOVE the movie version of How to Train Your Dragon, it doesn't even come close to following the book, which is AMAZING!!!!!!)

Oh, if only I could get those around me to LOVE reading even half as much as I do....!!!!!
